6419000₫

Leave the crowds behind and find the "Real Mekong" in the shaded coconut groves and hidden canals of Ben Tre.

Tour Overview

This is Tiim Travel’s signature "Off-the-beaten-path" Mekong experience. Ben Tre remains much more authentic than neighboring provinces. This private tour features a 5km cycling journey through narrow village paths, visits to local brick kilns, and a private boat ride through canals that are virtually untouched by mass tourism.

Itinerary

  • 07:30 | Private Pickup: Depart for Ben Tre, crossing the magnificent Rach Mieu Bridge.

  • Brick Kiln Visit: See the traditional way of making bricks by hand along the riverbank—a dying art in the modern world.

  • Coconut Workshops: Explore the "Kingdom of Coconut." See how every part of the coconut is used, from the shell for charcoal to the husk for mats.

  • Cycling Adventure (5km): Ride high-quality bicycles through quiet village roads, under the shade of coconut palms. You’ll pass local schools, small temples, and friendly locals.

  • Lunch: Enjoy a rustic, organic lunch at a local home or a hidden garden restaurant.

  • Hidden Canal Sampan: A serene rowing boat trip through a secret canal draped in water-coconut leaves.
